Minnesota State Statue, Chapter 299C.06, requires all law enforcement
agencies to furnish statistics and information regarding the number of crimes
reported and discovered, arrests made, complaints, information and
incidents files along with dispositions.
Minnesota State Statue, Chapter 299C,12, requires law enforcement
officers/agencies to keep a permanent written record, in a form prescribed
by the State Commissioner of Public Safety, of all felonies, warrants issued
in relation to the commission of felony, statements of the facts and
description of the offender if known, method of operation, and action taken
by the officer and any other information that the superintendent may require.
Local law enforcement has a greater responsibility to the community beyond
that required by statute. The primary purpose of municipal law enforcement
is to provide professional service in keeping with the expectations of our
society and the needs of the community.
